I HUNT THE SUPERNATURAL

CHAPTER FIVE

So I end up telling my Commander everything but leave out the vampire part. That she was attacked by a man with a small barbecue knife that has two ends. He doesn't look convinced and gives me a suspension for leaving the old lady to die. A suspension for a week and I have to write a report up. I feel bad that I left her and it was stupid of me to do. More time to fight vampires at night. I leave the precinct and all the officers are looking at me with a mix of emotions. Disgrace, disgust and a wave of sadness. I can't meet their eyes but I feel them watching me. I hop on my motorbike and go home for much needed sleep.

I arrive back at my apartment and Nero is waiting for me at the garage door. He meows at me wondering why I am home so early and leaves me to go to his bowl. I glance at him and notice we are all out of cat food. I sigh so not wanting to go down to the shops. I get undressed and change into more casual attire for the shops. I put my long black hair into a messy bun and grab my motorbike keys. "I be back Nero" I call to my cat and hop onto my bike.

The short drive to the shops and the wind was blowing mildly. I pull up into a motorbike bay and turn off the engine. I hop off and take off my helmet and take my helmet with me. Wasn't busy at the shops and I quickly grab some cat food and for me a bottle of moscato wine to either make me sleepy or drown in my defeat, whichever comes first. I pay for my groceries and go, hop onto my bike and can't wait for my bed and to succumb to sleep.

I arrive back at my apartment and quickly feed Nero, taking my bottle of wine to my bedroom and shut the door. I stand in darkness for a few minutes and turn on my side lamp. I open the bottle and take a swig of wine letting the sweet taste longer on my tastebuds. I take a few more gulps of the wine and place half of the bottle on my bedside table. I lay down on my bed and succumb to sleep.

I wake up to a scream. At first I think I am dreaming but nope the screaming continues getting louder. I open my blind and see that it is night time. I check my phone and it reads 9pm. I get up quickly still dressed in my casual attire and grab my katana which I keep close to me. I open my front door and continue hearing the screaming. Sounds like a female, I think to myself. I hear more screaming. I don't think and I just run out with my slippers on and with my apartment keys I put on my pocket I run out into the night.

The screaming gets closer and when I finally find the victim, it is a young girl and her father fighting off a man. The man has big claws and my bet is that is a type of were. Maybe a werecat, as he seems to have whiskers and doesn't seem to be fully transformed. I run to them and plant a side kick to him and he flies through the air. "GO!" I yell at the father and the daughter. They don't think twice and run away. The werecat stands up and definitely is double my size. "Bad kitty!" I say to him holding my katana in my hand ready to strike. A growl rips from his throat and he lunges for me. I fall back and when he lands on me he falls on top on my katana. His eyes are looking right into mine and I slowly watch the light leave his yellow eyes and then he becomes dead weight. "s**t!" I am stuck underneath him. "Do you need help?" I hear a manly familiar voice call out.
